Test Development Manager

Responsibilities: • Lead test strategy development and Design for Testability (DFT) execution throughout the NPI phase-gate process, including concept review, EVT, DVT, PVT, qualification, and mass production readiness. • Collaborate closely with customers, R&D, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to ensure successful product transfer from development to production. • Lead test software and test script development based on product requirements and test plans. • Drive Design for Testability (DFT) reviews with customers, R&D, and hardware design teams during all NPI phase gates. • Provide DFT recommendations on hardware architecture, debug interfaces, test access points, boundary scan (JTAG), and diagnostic capabilities. • Review product designs and identify testability gaps early in the development cycle to reduce manufacturing risks. • Manage test solution quotations, NRE activities, and test infrastructure planning. • Lead test platform architecture development and standardization across multiple product families. • Provide technical leadership and hands-on support for complex test system debugging. • Drive test coverage optimization, test cycle time reduction, and test cost improvement initiatives. • Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) including test yield, first-pass yield (FPY), test escape rate, and equipment efficiency. • Lead failure analysis activities and drive corrective and preventive actions. • Own test equipment capacity planning, qualification, maintenance, and lifecycle management. • Support customer audits, product qualifications, and technical reviews. • Drive automation and digitalization initiatives to improve testing efficiency. • Develop, coach, and mentor Test Development Engineers to build a high-performing team. • Manage project schedules, resources, and deliverables to ensure achievement of product launch milestones. Requirements: • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field. • Minimum 8 years of experience in hardware test development, preferably in enterprise switches/servers, storage, networking, or telecommunications products. • Minimum 3 years of leadership experience managing engineering teams and cross-functional projects. • Proven experience leading NPI programs and R&D-to-manufacturing transfers. • Strong knowledge of server, switches, storage, networking, and switch hardware architecture (CPU, memory, PCIe, etc.). • Strong knowledge of Design for Testability (DFT) principles, boundary scan (JTAG), diagnostic architecture, and fault coverage analysis. • Proficiency in Linux operating systems, test platform development, and troubleshooting. • Experience in programming and scripting languages such as Python, C/C++, Tcl/Tk, Java, or equivalent. • Familiarity with quality and industry standards such as ISO, IPC, and IEEE requirements. • Knowledge of statistical analysis, DOE, SPC, and continuous improvement methodologies.
